How to change store path after installation?

[Dani]

Would like to change the path to the store after installation.  I know those settings used to be in the configuration files, but I'm not sure that is still the way to go?

To elaborate -  Site was installed at an addon domain (i.e. maindomain.com/store_domain.com) because store_domain was pointing to old site while new site was being built.   Now site is live and store_domain.com.  So, to access the site now, you can go directly to store_domain.com, and the store looks great.  But, all the links still point back to maindomain.com/store_domain.com.  So, if you click on the Account link, you'll be taken to maindomain.com/store_domain.com/account, rather than store_domain.com/account.

Source code shows <base href="https://maindomain.com/store_domain.com/">

Have edited parts of includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php, but base URL always goes back to the maindomain.com.

For instance, in admin/includes/configure.php, I updated 

defined('HTTP_SERVER') or define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
defined('HTTPS_SERVER') or define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

to 

defined('HTTP_SERVER') or define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://store_domain.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
defined('HTTPS_SERVER') or define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://store_domain.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

but nothing changed.

Tried similar changes in includes/configure.php, but clicking a link always took me back to maindomain.com/store_domain.com rather than store_domain.com.

Are there other files that need to be updated as well?

Have also tried making changes in includes/local/configure.php files, but everything still redirects to maindomain.com.

To change frontend url, change Sales channel url into use Admin->Sales channel

To change admin url, see this thread

Cannot thank you enough!  I've been pulling my hair out and totally missed it in the Sales Channel.

so, im trying to move old centos7 oscommerce v4 to new ubuntu server.  Things i have done:

1. modified configs (2) to reflect new dbase name, user, pwd
2. changed hooks table entries (10) that had previous path to store, centos and ubuntu are different
3. Setup the domain name in local host on win11 so that I could work on the new site without changing DNS to avoid downtime.
4. Imported old db into new db
5. visited site with local host and new ip for new server
6. received 500 error
7. checked error log and found nothing
8. checked permissions and ownership  new owner:newowner 755/644

Is it not possible to simple copy the html directory and dbase to the new server.  Or do i have to do a full install?
